PCOS Complications- Taking Clomid

I just found out I have PCOS in September of this year when I missed my period 2 months in a row. My husband and I had been trying (sort of) and I had never missed a period before. I had never heard of PCOS before but now I know more than I could have imagined.

I was put on Prometrium to menstruate, then Yaz for a month and then 50mg of Clomid. I just went to the Drs last Monday the 1st and had the disappointing news that my follicles are small and the Clomid didn’t do its job. So, on Prometrium again and will start Clomid on Day 3 of my cycle again, but 100mg of Clomid this time!

Has anyone else been on Clomid before? If so, what was your experience with it and did you ever become pregnant on it?

I was diagnosed with pcos 20+ years ago. I was on chlomid for more than a year (before research showed that you shouldn’t be on it that long consecutively). I never had good numbers on it. I ended up getting pregnant twice on femara- a drug traditionally used for post-menopausal women treating breast cancer…believe it or not. I would recommend that you ask your doctor about it.

I was diagnosed with pcos 5 years ago,I had two separate atemps one I was on clomid for nine months,then last year I was on if for six months, last year I had to double my dose to 100 mg and I didn’t get pregnant, but have heard from other people it worked for them, I was also told that I couldn’t be on it too long cause of the strength I was on, me and my husband are now going down the adoption route

Clomid didn’t do anything for me metformin helped a little right now I have started Berberine and Inositol and it actually seems to regulate my cycle better without the expensive blood work and drs visits

I took four treatments of clomid 50 MG each month. I was getting stressed about trying to get pregnant so I stopped taking the clomid. The same month I was anticipating my period without taking clomid, it never came. Turns out I got pregnant within days of stopping the clomid. For me, I think stress had a lot to do with why it wasn’t happening. Good luck to you!
